It is true that Oracle is quite complex and if you build a serious application using it you will require the services of an Oracle DBA at some point in time. I’ve seen many MySQL installations in my time and I can confidently say that almost every one should have used the services of a MySQL DBA to tune it correctly. DBA issues aside, Oracle XE provides an easy to use, web-based GUI for performing most tasks. It’s only when you delve outside of your standard CRUD operations, like modifying the default backup strategy, that Oracle-specific knowledge comes in to play.

The database copy was named 'whole_db_cpy' and the incremental backup referred to whole_db_copy. The quote from Jim Czuprynski used his tag of 'img_cpy_upd' instead of updating it to match our tag of 'whole_db_copy'. In short, the script didn't quite work and the explanation wasn't easy to follow! I've updated this article, and my backup script, to fix these problems. Sorry if I caused any confusion!
